Sorry, you can't both sides this. Controlled opposition and failing to push substantive reforms due to a few "centrists" is not the same as policies that openly seek to destroy our cherished idea of Constitutionally-limited government and economic position of world leadership.
I'll believe it when I see that actually happening.
This sounds like outright denial to me. There are already many red lines that have been crossed, and plainly stated intentions to go much further. I know it's comforting to write off the red lines as isolated incidents, and the statements as harmless political trolling. But at this point its utter foolishness - there are hard-earned reasons why we reaffirm societal values rather than trashing them.
